This is the best summary I could come up with:
Feeling angry and betrayed after numerous Democrats have called on him to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee, Joe Biden and his family may be coming to grips with the notion that he will have to leave the race.
Two sources familiar with the situation told NBC News that there are raw feelings at play as the Democratic National Convention is due to start in about a month’s time.
In Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention ended on Thursday, Biden’s deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said the president “is not wavering on anything”.
One source said Monday could be a “big day” if Biden hasn’t withdrawn by then, with a bigger push for him to call it quits as congressional Democrats return from recess.
Biden is self-isolating with Covid-19 at his beach house in Delaware, where he has reportedly become more “receptive” to the notion that he may have to step aside, one Democratic adviser told CNN.
Two people familiar with the talks noted that any departure would have to put the party in the best possible place to beat Trump while also paying tribute for the more than 50 years Biden has spent in public office.
